To go into detail:

That spoler is ugly. You should've kept the OE.

The rims look disastrous and don't match your Max at all!

The taillights, hideous. If you wanted clears, you should've plunked down the extra $100 and got the 02 OE tails.

The front looks ok for the most part. Grill is fine. I like the hood scoops.

The side skirts are pretty bleh.

The exhaust pipes look ugly.

The whole back looks pretty ugly, overall.

Of course, it's just my opinion. I'm sure others will like it.

Everyones opinion? Are you sure?

Too much time and money have been spent. That body kit, those exhausts, that wing.... Auditioning for The Fast and the Furouis 3 are you?

As long as you enjoy it, no ones opinion should matter.

Here's my opinion.

* Hood scoop gotta go
* Clear tail lights gotta go
* Spoiler gotta go
* Dual fart cans gotta go

Besides that, your car is looking pretty nice.

I like the body kit and the rims, but I think the wing and the hood are a bit much. The ghost flames are pritty cool too. What performance mods do you have?

To each is their own, but it's way too flashy for my taste. Here's some suggestion's, start off by taking the wing off and go back to stock, take the hood off and get a carbo fiber hood, and last take the flames off the side and then it would look pretty good. Oh and from the pics it appears the exhaust are two different sizes, if so change them to one size.

Holy... I just realized his cans were two different sizes.

I agree with whoever said he should get a carb-fi hood.

I usually don't like those big wings on cars. But, I think that all the things that you put on your car come together quite nicely. Good job.
Now, there are a few things that you might consider. First, please get rid of those mufflers. I just can't stand those fart cans. Second, you might want to think about doing something to your upper grille. If you go with something dark it may make your car a bit more aggressive.

Thank You! Now as far as the mufflers there not as ****y sounding as they look i actually get a deeper and more agressive tone now with them then most V8 Mustangs out there so i dont mind them. I was thinking the same thing as far as the upper grille as well.

I agree. The hood and wing is too much. The CF hood and OEM spoiler is a good idea. With those alterations it would look pretty nice. Hats off to you for putting in all that effort.

Fendenrs are tight!

Hood scoop might be growing on me . . . . . . . . .maybe

All this time everyone has wanted to know what the dual exhaust looks link on a 5th gen and you've had it all this time. I want more details and maybe pics of your setup.

But seriously man you wasted a lot of money on that ugly azz hood. You may be the only one that has the hood, but that's because it's hideous. Wouldn't you think a CF hood would look better? Loose the rice wing...... you don't drive a honda. Besides that, your car is okay looking. I'm also not digging the huge holes around the exhaust pipes with those fart cans. Two single chrome tips would have looked better.

I'm not so sure about comparing a V6 with straight through exhaust to a mustang V8. That has to sound like a pizzed off bumble bee, plus I bet you have a terrible drone at lower cruising speeds. I've never really like the sound of a V6 with aftermarket exhaust.

Wing and hood gotta go. fenders look good wish they came in metal and not FG. Not digging the huge holes in the back bumper and the tails. hope you will like it when your bodykit cracks but I give you credit you got it to fit.

My opinion: The car overall looks very ricey. Here is what I'd do if I were you. Take off the rear wings, change tail lights to 00-01 SE smoked tail lights. Take off muffler and put stock ones back. Remove all bodykits, and get Stillen ones, with MT front lip. Remove stickers. Remove hood scoop and get CF. Clear headlights, get JMS grille. Get coil-over. Oh BTW, I kinda like your tint and wheels, so keep them!

First the good:
I like the rims even though they aren't the best match for your color.
Props for having the custom dual exhaust.
Paint job is unique.

Now the bad: (buckle down)
ricey body kit
wing is atrocious
hood is completely riced out and terrible
rear lip needs to "hug" the exhaust pipes more.
you need some more performance with that look
not diggin the tail lights
you need to clear out your headlights.

I like the rims, dual exhaust is a nice touch except for the mufflers...those should be smaller like someone else said above. The wing is nasty and the hood scoops are also nasty. I congratulate you though for doing what you wanted to do. Who cares what everyone else thinks...including me. I like your tail lights too. Bodykit looks nice but needs to fit exhaust better.

On the color. The Axis Spiders look great on the white car. Those are the wheels I am wanting and had only seen them on Blubyu2k2's max. Now I really want them. The ram-air design hood kinda reminds me of a Grand Am (not feeling it). In regards to the spoiler...just two words...shame shame. You have a really nice car, would be better going back to the SE spoiler or none at all. I actually like the ghost flames, but I am a muscle car and hot rod fan, so that might be the reason why.

To sum it up.
1. Love the wheels and paint
2. Don't love the spoiler
